When you tell EAC to make an MP3, the first step is to create the WAV file. Once the WAV file is finished, Lame steps in and uses the WAV file to create the MP3 file. So the fact that you see a WAV created is expected.
A couple of things to check...
First, in the Compression options, under the External Compression tab, is "Use external program for compression" checked? And is the path correct for Lame in the text box below? These probably are if you believe everything is setup correctly. Still good to check ; )
Next, under EAC options, in the Directories tab, your folder (or directory) exist and you have looked in that folder for the MP3's? I use the filename to create sub-directories for the MP3's, so you may need to drill down and search a bit if you did the same thing. I also created a music directory off the root of one of my drives to simplify finding my music and used that path in the directory.
Can you find the WAV file, or did you tell EAC to delete them? You can keep the WAVs for a while to verify the files are going where you expect.
